Ilias wife finally allowed to go abroad

She was barred at the immigration point of the airport around 9:30 am but one hour later allowed to travel, said BNP's media wing official Shayrul Kabir.

Earlier on Sunday, Luna, a deputy registrar at Dhaka University, was scheduled to go to London with her two other children on a Biman Bangladesh flight, but the immigration officers at the airport obstructed her without any reason.

The High Court on Monday ordered the authorities concerned to allow her to go to the UK to attend her son's graduation ceremony after hearing a petition filed by her challenging the legality of the obstruction put on her.

BNP Organising Secretary Ilias Ali, also a former lawmaker from Sylhet, along with his driver, went missing from the capital's Banani area around midnight on April 17, 2012.
